At times I was quite frustrated with responsiveness (relatively small client), but actions speak louder than the (lack of) words. Got beyond the settlement we wanted, Harley is a great attorney.

Working with Justin on my medical malpractice case was an absolute pleasure, his confidence and willingness to see things through brought the best result me and my family could have hoped for after I was injured . I highly recommend Justin to anyone out there seeking help in their own case. The staff of Cohen & Malad and in specific, Skylar were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable, helpful and determined to always answer any concerns I had at anytime for whatever reason . They responded quickly to every email and phone call. My overall experience in this difficult time was completely kept positive and informative thus easing my mind and stress knowing that they had my back !

If you are needing exceptional representation, then you need Chris Vaughan. Some cases take a long time but from the first day to the last, Chris will be not only knowledgeable about the phases & steps but correct in guidance and advice. He is upfront, honest, realistic and patient but most importantly, he truly cares. He is always available for questions. He is always transparent and detailed in his communication. While certain cases can be frustrating & exhausting for clients, Chris is always there fighting. Trust him and trust the process. Im truly thankful for Chris & all of his dedication, hard work, caring and desire to be the voice of those in need. I have and will continue to recommend Chris.( Thank you to Kelly & Mike too). Hands down, the best Firm.

I highly recommend this law firm for any malpractice / wrongful death needs. They were respectful and professional. They worked tirelessly and diligently to help us resolve the death of our loved one. They never once made us feel that this was just a dollar amount to win for them- they fought for our case up until the final day. The communication skills from the attorneys to the support staff is impeccable and support staff went above and beyond on our behalf. I pray that I would never need this type of service again, but if I did, I would return to Cohen and Malad immediately.

I can’t overstate how much I recommend Julie Dixon. First and foremost, Julie and her team are consummate professionals. In the hardest season of life, Julie and her team have shown genuine compassion and a tenacious spirit advocating inside and outside of the courtroom on our behalf. Our case has presented unique challenges that Julie and her team have seemingly navigated with ease. As a result, they have more than delivered on their commitment to get the best outcome for my son and I. For those that are in need of divorce and custody services, understand there isn’t a group of professionals more willing to go the distance than Julie and her team. Julie, thank you for taking us on as clients, and for the work you continue to do — it means the absolute world to us.

Anyone looking for an attorney to represent you in a custody case I would highly recommend Matthew McConnell with Dixon and Moseley. When I started working with Matthew and Cheryl Foster (paralegal) it was very clear from the beginning that they cared about what I was fighting for which was more time with our boys. Matthew and Cheryl are an amazing team that are responsive, provided me with advice based on their years of experience and ultimately in the end we were victorious with having a lot more time with the boys. I will continue to utilize Matthew as my attorney for anything family law related.

I believe Josh Tatum and Peter Racher are unethical attorneys. I strongly warn all prospective clients to stay away from these attorneys; find someone else to help you! As I have ran the case details by several prominent attorneys, we feel that this can be proved in both a legal case and complaint with the State Board against Josh Tatum, Peter Racher and their Firm (PSRB). Briefly, I hired a partner attorney (Shelley Jackson) at the Law Firm, Plews Shadley Racher & Braun (PSRB) regarding an employment discrimination case. Shelley extensively reviewed the case and contacted the opposing attorney to negotiate a settlement agreement. Shelley then suddenly resigned from the Firm in the middle of the negotiations to take a position at a different company and handed the case over to an associate attorney (Josh Tatum) at the Firm. Josh did not know the details of the case well at all and it disturbed me greatly especially given that I had paid a very large amount of legal fees (18k) to the original partner attorney to know the case well. I was nervous at this point given my discussions and correspondence with Josh and his lack of understanding of the case and so I spent some extra time with him before he made contact with the opposing attorney to ensure he was up to speed as much as possible at least on the important details of the case. I asked Josh if he would listen to the audio of various meetings and review emails that I had already paid the original partner to listen to and review; Josh responded that he would have to re-charge me to do those things. Then he contacted the opposing attorney and made a huge mistake during negotiations in suggesting that we were ok with no non-disparagement clause. He also tells me the opposing counsel did not agree to the main items of the agreement as the partner attorney stated they did before she left the Firm. I immediately halted all activity with the PSRB Law Firm and contacted the managing partner (Peter Racher) and expressed my numerous concerns. I told Peter and the Firm that I would hold off on paying any outstanding invoices until everything was satisfactorily resolved. Peter stated he would get back to me. Weeks and weeks went by, still no response. Eventually, Josh forwarded me correspondence from the opposing counsel and during that time I found out from Josh that PSRB had terminated our attorney-client relationship and would not be representing me any longer. They advised me to seek successor counsel. The managing partner eventually wrote me a 1.5-page letter not stating much but that he investigated my concerns, reiterating that our attorney-client relationship had ended, and that they would not be refunding me any fees paid and basically good luck.

Glaser & Ebbs offer paid parking for the Colts games for a cost of nearly $40 if you pay for it advance on Parkwhiz. When buying a parking pass to a Colts game in advance online, they falsely promote that they have restrooms for paid parkers in their lot...this is only partially true. The bathrooms (and the building itself) are unlocked before the start of the game. When the game ends, they immediately lock their doors, and even people who paid to park in their lot can't get in to use a bathroom. Don't they realize people might need to use the bathroom before they leave? Also, they have multiple people help park cars before the game. After the game, there is literally a free for all leaving with no staff in sight to guide people out. Expect to wait an hour just to even get out of their lot and to make it to Interstate 70 when the game is over.

Personally, I do not recommend based on my experience. Unorganized, weak internal communication, invoices for unethical charges (an example: charged for an email FROM Garrison, the contents of the email were "I wanted to send a quick note and see how things are going. SUBJECT: Touching Base") We were referred to Garrison from a family friend for help handling my late brothers estate. I have since moved to working with a different firm to help handle the estate and have had an excellent experience.

I was mostly pleased with my experience. You definitely have to have patience, especially if you’ve never gone through the process of suing someone. I was involved in an accident where the other driver was at fault, I had an ambulance ride and emergency room visit. I was in pain for over a month, but had minor injuries. I would’ve only gotten about $5,000. I might have not gotten anything at all without them helping me. In the end I got $15,000. Covered my vehicle that was worth less than $5,000. They take a cut, but they did a good job. Worth it. I couldn’t have done it without them.

The attorneys here will definitely take advantage of you, especially if you have zero experience with a lawsuit. They are only worried about getting their cut. During mediation they will pressure you into taking whatever settlement is offered. They did not disclose to me that I had a subrogation lein from my insurance company, not even the day of mediation. Which if i had known i would not have settled. Do not pursue them for any lawsuit. Unfortunately i didnt leave out any facts and my memory is fine, I know exactly what happened. And so do you guys. Very fraudulent and dishonest. I actually have phone records verifying what I'm saying is true and every single piece of paper work I was given from Ken Nunn, none regarding a subrogation lein.

I’m very grateful to have had Yasmin on my side for my family law case. She was upfront about everything. Never over promised but made sure I was in the loop along the way. It made things so much easier knowing that my best interest was the priority. Jannett is the paralegal that works with Yasmin and she was very pleasant along the entire process. Made things a lot smoother knowing I had her as well to help. They’re both very easy to get ahold of as long as they’re not busy. I would recommend her for your family law case. Thank you very much!

Working with Justin on my medical malpractice case was an absolute pleasure, his confidence and willingness to see things through brought the best result me and my family could have hoped for after I was injured . I highly recommend Justin to anyone out there seeking help in their own case. The staff of Cohen & Malad and in specific, Skylar were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable, helpful and determined to always answer any concerns I had at anytime for whatever reason . They responded quickly to every email and phone call. My overall experience in this difficult time was completely kept positive and informative thus easing my mind and stress knowing that they had my back !

If you are needing exceptional representation, then you need Chris Vaughan. Some cases take a long time but from the first day to the last, Chris will be not only knowledgeable about the phases & steps but correct in guidance and advice. He is upfront, honest, realistic and patient but most importantly, he truly cares. He is always available for questions. He is always transparent and detailed in his communication. While certain cases can be frustrating & exhausting for clients, Chris is always there fighting. Trust him and trust the process. Im truly thankful for Chris & all of his dedication, hard work, caring and desire to be the voice of those in need. I have and will continue to recommend Chris.( Thank you to Kelly & Mike too).

I highly recommend this law firm for any malpractice / wrongful death needs. They were respectful and professional. They worked tirelessly and diligently to help us resolve the death of our loved one. They never once made us feel that this was just a dollar amount to win for them- they fought for our case up until the final day. The communication skills from the attorneys to the support staff is impeccable and support staff went above and beyond on our behalf. I pray that I would never need this type of service again, but if I did, I would return to Cohen and Malad immediately.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You

A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.

Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:

  • Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
  • Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
  • Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
  • Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
  • Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.

What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?

A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:

  • Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
  • Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
  • Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
  • Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
  • Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
  • Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.

Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.

How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?

Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:

  • Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
  • Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
  • Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
  • Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.

The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.

How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?

The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:

  • The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
  • Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
  • Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
  • Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.

It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.

Top Questions to Ask a Litigation Lawyer

Before hiring a litigation lawyer, it's essential to ask key questions to ensure you're choosing the right representation:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Ensure that the lawyer has experience handling your specific type of dispute, whether it's a contract issue, personal injury, or business matter.
  2. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case's strengths, weaknesses, and the likelihood of success.
  3. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify how you'll be charged, whether by the hour, a flat fee, or on a contingency basis.
  4. How long do you expect my case to take?
    While it's hard to predict, an experienced lawyer can give you a rough estimate based on similar cases.
  5. How often do you settle cases versus going to trial?
    Some lawyers are more inclined to settle, while others may be more experienced in the courtroom. It’s important to understand their strategy.
  6. What is your approach to resolving disputes?
    Some lawyers prefer aggressive litigation, while others focus on settlement or mediation. Choose one whose approach aligns with your goals.

How to Check the Credibility of a Litigation Lawyer

To verify a litigation lawyer’s credibility, consider the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Ensure the lawyer is in good standing with the state bar and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online reviews can provide insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and track record.
  • Look for litigation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they have handled cases like yours and have a record of success.
  • Request references: Ask the lawyer to provide references from past clients who can speak to their effectiveness and approach.
  • Research their trial experience: If your case is likely to go to trial, ensure the lawyer has a history of courtroom success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make your first consultation with a litigation lawyer productive, you should prepare the following:

  • A clear outline of the dispute: Provide a timeline and key details about the legal issue you're facing.
  • Any relevant documents: Bring contracts, emails, letters, or any other documentation that pertains to the case.
  • A list of key players: Provide the names of individuals or companies involved in the dispute.
  • Questions about fees and the litigation process: Make sure you understand how the lawyer plans to approach your case and how you will be charged.
  • Your goals and expectations: Be clear about what outcome you're hoping for, whether it's a settlement, compensation, or another resolution.

By coming prepared, you can ensure that your initial meeting with the lawyer is both efficient and insightful, giving you a better sense of how to proceed with your case.
